Megyn Kelly Expresses Gratitude For The Support She Received During Her Feud With Trump

Fox News’ Megyn Kelly appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Monday to talk about her dispute with Donald Trump.

When a caller asked Kelly which of her Fox colleagues were supportive and which ones were not, Kelly answered saying she had several people who privately reached out to her during the ordeal.

“And that’s actually been one of the nice things about the year, is how supportive I have felt, supported by my Fox colleagues,” Kelly said, specifically mentioning Dana Perino, Janice Dean and Chris Stirewalt.

Cohen asked her if Bill O’Reilly ever said anything to her about it. Kelly said he hadn’t, but pointing out the fact that they work different hours so she never sees him.

Referring to Greta Van Susteren as a major feminist, Cohen said, “She had to be really fired up about this.” Again Kelly said she hadn’t spoken to Van Susteren, because “She’s in the DC bureau and I’m in New York. So I, I don’t ever see her.”

Kelly expressed gratitude to Sean Hannity for his work behind the scenes trying to cool the temperatures when things were heating up. “And he didn’t have to do it and he did. So, I’m grateful to him,” Kelly said.

The feud between Trump and Kelly began when Kelly served as moderator for the initial Republican presidential debate. During the debate, Kelly asked Trump about claims that he has been known to refer to women he doesn’t like as “fat pigs,” “dogs,” “slobs,” and “disgusting animals.”

Trump believed Kelly was treating him harsher than any of the other candidates, so when the first debate ended, Trump took to Twitter, posting, “Wow @megynkelly really bombed tonight. People are going wild on twitter! Funny to watch.”
